Some people say they have trained their cats to stay off the counter and dinner table. Their cats have learned how to not get caught on the counter and dinner table. Except for disabled cats who can't jump, all cats make use of the vertical space in their homes. It's one reason they don't need to go outside to get exercise. And they feel safer when they have the high ground.

I live in small apartments and I would know if my cat got on the table or counter, in the very least by the jumping off thump. In fact, it was happening in one particular apartment. IDK why, but he would get on that counter. And yes, usually during the night when nobody is there. Doesn't happen in the current apartment.
